Serious answer: I listen a lot of my music while on my MTB, while running or while at the gym.

If I have an helmet on, the only thing that fits in my ear are run of the mill jack and cord buds. Bulky bluetooth buds don't fit. And having something physically attached to me is a plus, since I lost one wireless earbud in the woods once.

When I run and sweat, I can feel the larger and heavier wireless earbuds slip out of my ear.

In the gym, wireless and 3.5 are largely interchangeable.

And my car stereo has only 3.5mm aux in, that's how I listen to music while in it.
